Looking at this thread made me realise something, I'm young, and will have many cars, But I really really wan't to keep the one I have. For like ever. I know how it handles, I know how it accelerates, I know how it brakes (and Breaks), I know I have to replace the wipers everyweek because they are shite (And it's always raining up here) and I know that its mine. Why oh why do cars break?!

When your insurance comes down, then you might think differently Hazza.

True. Once I hit 30 insurance plummeted and I wouldn't expect to pay more than 400 a year on pretty much anything. Current car is £230 roughly. It's the fuel and maintenance costs that hurt on performance cars.

Yep, once the kids got over the 'O this is cool, wind in hair thing' it was 'moan, moan, moan' that's why I now have a huge Skoda, that I can't park

Some piccies of my motas. All of them great in their own way I've always tried to get cars that are good driver cars. Saxo VTR/ VTS Both cars induction kits, Stainless full systems with decats, lowered 50mm. Cornered like on rails on the VTS went like a scalded cat as well Nissan 300ZX Twin turbo Lovely and comfy with some useable power but drank like a fish, wobbled on corners and had shite brakes. Rover 620Ti Same engine as the Rover Coupe (Tomcat) same reliability as an Italian supercar. Was a lovely drive and with 200BHP was tidy on the straights as well... corners... no... Cliosport 172 (Mk1) Bonkers, faster than a fox in a forest fire and so badly beaten by the previous owner it was shagged Was one of the rare ones with aluminium bonnet and shift light as well! Tinted windows were stripped off by me and I never got round to putting sensible wheels on it before I sold it for the Mondy. Pug 205GTi 1.9 Shagged but fun... end of. Pug GTi16 Excellent car that couldn't turn right but was professionally tweaked and pretty reliable as well. MR2 Turbo Bonkers, bonkers and utterly loony! Was once owned by a Jap racing team that sold it in liquidation and it got exported to the UK. Put out more BHP than it needed on full boost and had a hybrid turbo, gas flowed and ported head as well as suspension mods. Did about 16mpg on full boost but it was epically quick! The Mondy 167BHP, sounds lovely, all the toys and very reliable as well as comfy. Drives and corners well. You had a pug 205. I had one loved it to bits, got it modded, someone did it for me, god that thing was fast, it started cutting out whenever it felt like it, and no-one could find a reason for it, so I let it go. Got myself a mazda 323 fastback coupe ( officially called an hatchback I believe ). This was more like it, until I wrapped it around a lampost After lots of escorts all made to look like something out of too fast too furious I have settled back with a reliable little peugeot. It has no electrics, no power steering, and no alloys , but it starts everytime . Mind you it does get serviced every year, plus extra stuff done to it just to keep it happy. The poor thing is starting to look rough around the edges now with the bodywork, a bit like me really, but inside she is still young at heart .

My old neighbour had a Morris Traveller. I think the thing got woodworm and always sounded like it was farting when it started up ;-)

I wish it was still in that condition but I have not been able to work on it recently and it needs a bit of TLC to get it back to that condition. Still, I will get there eventually.

It will come up gleaming, you obviously take extremely good care of them.
